BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - March 18, 2009) - Rogue Wave Software, Inc., the leader in
enterprise class C++ components and infrastructure, today announced that
Patrick Leonard, its Vice President of Product Strategy, will be
participating in a panel discussion titled "Moving Forward - High
Performance Application Development in a Multicore World" at SUN
Microsystems "CommunityOne East" event on Wednesday, March 18th, 2009, at
10:00 AM at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, New York. Additional details can be
found at http://developers.sun.com/events/communityone/2009/east/.
Topics for discussion on the panel include: strategies for legacy code; the
benefits & downsides to various tools and approaches; and new areas or
techniques software developers should be focused on when developing in the
multicore era. Multicore technology is emerging as a way to address the
high performance demands facing organizations, but it won't 'automagically'
address and resolve problems businesses face today. Leonard will share
thoughts on how the pressures placed on businesses to do more with less
money and resources are forcing software developers and management to find
new ways to be more productive and reduce costs, which includes leveraging
low cost multicore hardware.
"New methods of managing and developing code will be required to drive
application scalability for the next generation of business applications
now that hardware performance comes in the form of additional 'cores' in
each CPU," said Leonard. "However, this can be challenging to manage in the
traditional programming environment since mainstream languages were never
designed to run on multicore architecture. Further, increasing developer
productivity, scalability, and integrating and leveraging existing
investments must be considered in conjunction with implementing new
hardware/software solutions, before being able to fully realize the
benefits of technology like multicore hardware. Using the right tools and
strategy can generate results and improve performance far beyond what can
be achieved by fine-tuning existing code."
